There are many ways to clean this type of dish. Choose an option depending on how dirty the pan is.
- Small pieces of burnt food can be easily removed with a soft cloth soaked in olive oil.
- If grease remains on the sides of the pan, fill it with warm water, add a couple of drops of dish soap and let it soak well. After 20-30 minutes, simply wipe the walls with a soft sponge.
- Wipe large spots of burnt fat with rubbing alcohol and then wash in the usual way.
- The most serious stains can be removed with powerful detergents designed for washing the stove. The main thing is that after using them, rinse the pan thoroughly and for a long time under clean running water.
Whichever cleaning method you choose, handle your ceramic pans with extreme care. This is the kind of coating that loves a delicate approach and deteriorates if mishandled.
On the Internet, you will come across a lot of bad advice. If you use them, you can almost certainly ruin your pan. For example, it is sometimes advised to rub the pan with baking soda. However, soda in this case will act almost like a metal sponge and completely ruin the entire ceramic coating.
It is also sometimes advised to take water in a frying pan, add a little soda there and boil. On the one hand, this advice works, because the grease and carbon deposits will really go away, but it will no longer work to call the coating non-stick. It won’t peel off, of course, but if you try to fry something, the food will burn very strongly.
Soda is a great helper in the kitchen. But it is completely unsuitable for such a capricious coating as ceramics!
Even weirder advice is to boil the pan with laundry soap or even silicate glue. Even if we ignore the fact that during this procedure your apartment will be filled with just a terrible “aroma”, the advice is still bad. After such a boil, a thick layer of sticky plaque will remain in the pan, which will be difficult to remove.
Now you know how to clean a ceramic skillet. At least one such frying pan should be in your arsenal, because it is really very convenient and pleasant to cook in it.
